Description missive 2005-04-26 03:50:39 UTC 
Version:           3.4.0 (using KDE 3.4.0, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11-gentoo-r6

The "Switch User" button (either from the K-menu, or from the desktop) seems to show every open konsole in my session as a possible user to switch to.

It shows:

lee: kde-3.4 (:0, vt7) -- selected with an X
lee: TTY login (pts/0) -- greyed out
lee: TTY login (pts/2)
lee: TTY login (pts/3)
[...]
lee: TTY login (pts/25)


I also see a very similar list when I go to shut down from kdm after logging out of my session. It says something like ... "these sessions are still active. Are you sure you want to shut down?"

nm

Looks like a duplicate of bug #100411. Why did you unmark it?
Comment 4 Maksim Orlovich 2005-04-26 05:15:38 UTC 
#100411 is about virtual terminals, not tty's used by konsole
Comment 5 Thiago Macieira 2005-04-26 05:30:10 UTC 
Yes, but a bit down Ossi talks about the pseudoterminals used by Konsole, so it is a bit related. I'll let him decide.

He also said:

> get it right, still?)

Yes, Konsole on KDE 3.4.0 doesn't get it right:
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
thiago   pts/3    -                27Mar05  1:26m 19:11  19:11  irssi Freenode

Reassign there instead?

good idea. :)
anyway, we'll need a workaround in kdm, too.
i'll take care of both.

successfully (i think) worked around in trunk and 3.4 branch.
